Opulent, old school, wood-panelled watering hole, that nods to Britain’s wartime Prime Minister with an impressive Champagne list (and oysters, of course). “Louis Roederer Collection 245 finds a perfect match in dishes that echo its nuanced complexity and vibrant structure” says head somm Vincenzo Arnese. “The Delica Pumpkin with cep mushroom, red onion, and hazelnuts complements the Champagne’s creamy texture and nutty undertones,” he continues “while the earthy mushroom flavours enhance its subtle smoky minerality. Similarly, the Mushroom Arancini with pickled trumpette, black garlic emulsion and parmesan snow pairs seamlessly, as the umami-rich notes of mushroom and parmesan align with the wine’s depth, and the bright acidity cuts through the richness.” These pairings elevate the sensory experience, showcasing the versatility and elegance of Collection 245.
